This illustrates some of the inequities in the current system. The entire RVU system was designed around procedures. My take is that it is specialist driven, since specialists are the ones generally doing procedures. Of course, I am biased, since I am a PCP.
We get the health care we pay for. Lots of people in specialty care, not enough in primary care and twice as much money going toward specialty vs primary care.
Another reason I love the AMA.
